Brief summary of the T&C for using the internet in my student dorm.
Is this even legal?

This is not satire! I don't even know whether to laugh or cry! I guarantee that less than 5% of the tenants are conforming with these rules. Most people attach their own router. The network is so insecure that I can find other people's routers on them, complete with factory passwords.

FYI there is also only one single LAN cable, no WIFI.

I need some emotional support, I was looking for pear dessert recipes and found the worst sin of web design I have ever witnessed:

2824 requests to
256 unique hosts,
212 cookies, of which
194 are third party cookies, with
0 consent or interaction required.

And the site had “green planet" in its name.

Here's another picture to give a better idea of how it was constructed

My first successful woodworking project, entirely made with hand tools!

Wood was prepared with a japanese plane, cut with japanese saws; joints cut and chiseled by hand, glass was cut by hand, even the glue I made myself from glutinous rice!

It's not perfect but I learned a ton and am extremely happy with it, given that it's my first project 😊

Not sure about the wood, I think it's plum. It was two pieces of european fruit tree scrap wood.

I just spent 6 hours first flattening my water stones and then attempting to get the blade of my newly bought japanese (wood) plane into working condition.

I am done, the blade is not.

Setting up my own pleroma server, quite an adventure so far 😅

Does anyone have a suggestion for good Cloudflare alternatives?

I suggested removing Cloudflare from the website of an organization and they responded that they share my concerns, but as they are frequently targets of DDoS attacks, they needed some sort of solution. They told me they do not have the resources to create an in-house solution for these attacks, so they asked me for other suggestions.

Do any of you have suggestions for less harmful defense against DDoS attacks?

Thanks in advance!

Dear Fediverse,

are there any cool FOSS apps or websites for identifying plants? I frequently want to use one but never know what to use or whether there are any ethical ones that don't mistreat user data. :)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
